No, we are not kidding. Beer Marathon does exist!

The widely popular race that is held in countless places around the world, and also known as Beer Race, is a kind of Marathon where after each lap, the runner is allowed to consume and given a beer.

1. In Beer Race, Wheat Beer reduces inflammation and respiratory illness.
